Mary Elizabeth has been with us since our fifth - W1LL1AMsv1LLE HIGH SCHOOL RYAN LOW 'LBud' I only regret that I have but one heart to give to the ladies. Ryan came to us this year, creating a flutter among girlish hearts. How those same hearts thrilled with delight at his performance in the Senior play. Unlike the average newcomer, he has not felt it necessanry to brag about what we did in Wisconsin. Moref over, he has a startling amount of information to supf ply, particularly to teachers when he wishes to stave off dangerous questions. Altogether he has helped us lots, and we are glad he joined us. Football '30 Orchestra '30 Major-Science MARY ELIZABETH MCDCNALD Molly Her gesture, motion, and her smiles, Her wit, her voice, my heart beguilesf' -' grade days, and is a profitable asset to our school. She eooi has many talents, but her greatest are those of draf matics and drawing. Her dramatic talent shows itself in her amusing gestures which make even the most serious observer smile. Mary is the kind of person who never appears worried, but constantly wears a pleasant smile. This, too, is a great aid in dramatics. It is also a valuable asset for an artist. We all hope that Mary will become an artist, because she has filled many minutes with laughter over her comical sketches. We feel well assured that her future will be a glowing one.

WILLIAMSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL ROBERT JENKS Bud Honor lies in honest toil. Full of pep and fun is Bud Jenks, the boy with the cheerful. curly hair. However, his temper certainly is not the sort we associate with red hair, for he has one of the most remarkable dispositions we have known. Is he courteous? And how! In addition to all these admirable qualities, Bud has been of great service to W. H. S. along the athletic line, participating in base' ball and football. Last year, he was one of the boys on the AllfHigh team. In spite of his heavy prof gram, Bud has done his work faithfully, and thus has acquired the admiration of his instructors as well as his classmates. We have a good deal of faith in Bud's success, regardless of what his intentions for the future may be.

'Al is one of the few boys of the class who has received his entire education in Williamsville high school, consequently he is a wellfknown young man about town. His captivating smile' has won the admiraf tion of many of the opposite sex-especially the teachers. Moreover, he, as well as Jim Green, could pose for a clothing store ad. And say! Have you seen him swing his mighty arm as he pitches for the Blue and White? Al certainly frightens the batters of the opposing team. Not only in baseball, but in basketball and football he has shown marked ability. His future plans are indeiinite, but, whatever they are, we are sure that his pleasing personality will make him a big success in life.

It is the little things in life that count. So it is with Margaret Pfennig, who came to us at the begin' ning of her sophomore year from Tonawanda. Marge has certainly done her bit in procuring the funds for the Washington trip. Many a time was she seen behind the counter selling that delicious home made candy for which this particular class is noted. No wonder they sold so much! Her winning smile has won many friends not only in our school, but also in Washiiigton. However, Marge is beginning to quiet down now, for she realizes that exams are ap' proacbing. Marge expects to enter the Bryant and Stratton Business school next fall. We predict a bright future for her. Major-History 1 8
